Ann.without.an.e Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 No, I probably should. I want the extra two weeks. I need the extra two weeks.....for the sake of my sanity. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We started today. Doodle has his silent reading left to do and then his weekly guitar lesson. It was a good day.👠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andani Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We've always schooled year round, taking June off and starting early July. However, this year was so crazy that we took May- July off because things just kept happening. We started today with just a few subjects: language (poetry study) and geography. We planned to do math games as a review this afternoon, but someone was SO uncooperative that I only made it till lunch. Then I sent everyone outside. This is our 8th year of homeschooling, so I'm not suprised to have had a day like this. It's just that it's never happened on the first one...

jenn- Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Well that required much fussing and whining by the 5th graders to get finished. They did make it through everything though. Dd was doing well chugging along when I left. I think her breaking point will hit after vacation when she starts the second of her math curriculums. Little Man did okay as well after he got over his morning sleepiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking Squirrels Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We should not have taken off so much time from math. I never intended to take summer break from math but life happened and we did. I'm glad I decided to start with review, DD needed help with every single question today and we only made it through one page :/ No more long breaks from math.

nomfaux Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 My son starts next Monday with public high school (eek), but my daughter started back in this morning. It's been a fantastic day! We only had one little hiccup over a pre-test, but I should have known better than to schedule it. Her personality is too much like mine, and I can't stand those things. Seriously don't know what I was thinking. Anyway, we were done with school before lunchtime and went out to eat to celebrate. She's now off in her room making what sounds to be baby dragon noises.

Swimtaxi234 Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Our first day was a success! :hurray: My daughter and I are so excited about her philosophy course. Thanks to another Hive Mom's suggestion (I'll try to find her name), we are doing Philosophy through Star Trek, Star Wars, and Dr. Who. It will be time consuming, but we did some work last night and finished the first lesson today. LOVE it!!! :hurray: My son had a great day and seemed to adapt well to the heavy course load. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
